    Really need some term limits and total service years. Pick your numbers, something but like 6 for congress, 4 for Governor, 20 max in public office.

    Also their salary is based on their represented area. For a Congress representative, the national average is their base pay. If the area they represent is below average, a 30% of the difference is deducted. If it’s above average, 30% of the difference is added.

    After 1 year, the percentage increases by 10 every year you’re in office.

    So by year 6 if your doing a shit job your pay will be -90% the difference. If the national average is 50k, and your area is at 20k, the difference is 30k, 90% of that is 27K, so your salary is 50k-27k, which is 23K.

    Edit; you know what, I’m upping the percentage increase to 30 a year, now if your doing a shit job at year 6 your salary will be 180% less. Why should it be set up so you still make more than everyone struggling?
